    Should we put this in Ultimate Questions?

    There are honestly better ways to point out a flawed piece of information than to quote someone saying something that seems obvious to them ironically, in my opinion. By my book if I can't imagine Pattern understanding the essay on his first readthrough before he learns about sarcasm you're not explaining well enough. All you had to do is point out the more reliable sources that discredit Invia on this point really. Sure, it probably continues with the train of thought after this and the author might explain themselves, but if that line alone makes it into the epigraph it's probably the only part of the cropped paragraph that mattered. If Invia is wrong why is BS even telling us this? All of the other epigraphs mean what they say.

    I have seen it used that way occasionally. From what I remember of the quotes from the in-world Words of Radiance the book seems almost written in a format of recounting things people have told the author during the interviews they conducted for research. Essentially a record of words and information spoken regarding the Radiants, hence the title. Which is why I doubt they would quote one of their validated sources of information just to imply they are wrong. It undermines the authority and trustworthiness of anything else this Invia person has probably said elsewhere in the surrounding text. You don't write a research paper recounting the information gathering process while sounding like you know the answers and making your sources look bad, that just looks unprofessional.

    Crem

    natc replied to taveren's topic in Stormlight Archive

    Also most likely what the continent is made of, at that. Useful stuff, crem.

    If anything I remember Brandon being somewhat coy as to whether the Heralds are even Rosharan. And I assume you mean Greater Roshar, because Braize is a separate planet.

    Well, you can have someone nicroburst you continuously to minimize the amount of time the chromium remains in your system. Possibly a leecher every few dozen cycles for a clean wipe just in case. The metal vanishes from your stomach when burned, so you should mostly be fine.

    Yolish humans and dragons probably had Adonalsium investiture if Hoid could apparently always Lightweave before lightweaving was cool. The actual magic manifestations in their specific forms appear to be caused in part by the shardworlds just as much as the shards themselves, IIRC, so a lot of loopholes is probably still needed to pull that off.

    The joke is that there isn't one maybe?

    Who's to say the Oathgates always had the same lock mechanism?

    I mean, the url literally says Liar on it. Seriously :3

    All spren are splinters of shards, but I believe the original spren population of Roshar were born from Adonalsium and were likely different from the currently prevalent ones made from Cultivation, Honor, and Odium. Something about the realmatic properties of the planet apparently causes any shard attempting to invest in Roshar to splinter and create spren, IIRC. So theories usually seem to assume at least. Haven't looked into the possible existence of concrete proof much.

    But since insulting her apparently does nothing I Am Disappoint should also do nothing even if it's from the actual person that caused the weakness, no? You'd think weaknesses are much more arbitrarily specific than that.

    In terms of humor highlights, Mizzy also thinks that sparks and slontze are really weird-sounding. Groovy.

    Her weakness was compliments I thought.

    The Tears Of Edgli

    natc replied to cl58's topic in Warbreaker

    I don't think it ever sounded like a talking death sword was quite the results they had in mind there. . . Flowers are much more complex than swords anyway, I swear!

    You were supposed to give him 3 banes storm it . . .Anyone?
  19. natc
    It will, but you are stuck in a groundhog day loop that ends 1 minute into spring before looping back. I wish for the next person to get 2 wishes in a row, but 3 banes.

    Blade. The shardplate currently in circulation can't be dismissed, and it takes ages to put on so will not protect me in an emergency at all unless I'm paranoid enough to live with it on 24/7. Which I am not. The blade is a portable instant-kill weapon that can also block any other blade, and makes me impossible to physically imprison at that. Appears almost on demand. Perfect for self defense as well as engaging in combat.

    I thought the Listeners were native? Seemingly more native than any other species really.

    In which case the "that's my point" thing is wrong because that's clearly not the point I'm making in the slightest. Not that it matters much. We don't see many Koloss conversations after the mass takeover.

    Heralds are technically as human as an immortal surgebinder that resurrects on another planet on death can get though. Biologically speaking. There's no reason to compare them to the Stormfather. Yet. I always interpreted the situation as the Oaths and such being something Nohadon came up with to guide the organized group of surgebinders that Ishar possibly saw and physically implemented as an actual system. We know that the nahel bond is definitely more restrictive than it probably was initially at least, orNohadon would have nothing to worry about.

    Even the ones that don't glow are still fairly extraordinary though. The only relatively extraordinary thing we've seen Plate in visions do is get lashed properly by the person inside. Every other known feature from physical enhancement and shardblade resistance to to automatically compensating for bolts of lightning has been exhibited by the abandoned shardplate. Those gems get replaced on a regular basis from overstress and are presumably vacant

    Wyndle was all going on about why they wouldn't let him pick someone more important though . . .
